Abstract
The current system is a method for easily adjusting the front sight post on a firearm. The system is used to aid in easier front sight post adjustments as well as maintain a uniform sight picture throughout the aiming process. The system solves the current problem of viewing two separate sight pictures when looking through a rear sight. The system also solves the problem of needing a separate tool to adjust the sight post. The system includes four critical parts, a bottom sight post tower, a top sight post tower, a front sight post and a mechanism for providing constant upward force such as a spring. The system has multiple embodiments including the use of various sight posts.
